Description
Summary:This volume traces Agamben's engagement with deconstructive thought from his early work to the present, showing how consistently and closely Agamben takes up the work of Jacques Derrida as his chief contemporary interlocutor. At its most fundamental level, Agamben's thought has been viewed as descending primarily from the work of Heidegger, Benjamin, and, more recently, Foucault. This book, however, complicates and expands that constellation by showing that any understanding of Agamben that does not take his relation to Derrida into account remains incomplete.
